Jack Burger Sports Complex

The Jack Burger Sports Complex was constructed in 1978 and has had a long standing relationship with the residents of Port Hope and the surrounding area. Included in the facility is a 1200 seat arena, a 25 metre pool, a therapy pool, and whirlpool. As an authorized provider of Red Cross and Lifesaving Society swim programs, children, youth, adults and seniors can participate in structured swim lessons or drop in for one of our open swim times. Swim supplies are available at the pool side pro shop. There are plenty of opportunities for making use of the ice surface and stop by the arena pro shop for skate sharpening or the canteen for a snack.
